Android: Installing the Market app on the emulator?

Question

I need to install the market app on the android emulator on Mac Os X. How can it be done?

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, you can. See my answer to this question, re-quoted below:

This 2 part video walks you through how to get the marketplace and the gmail app onto an android 2.2 emulator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe-jA3l3QNA

This link also covers it (http://anythingsimple.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-use-android-market-on-android.html) but I found the video to be a bit more useful.

Answer 2

The Market is not available for the emulator. It is only available for hardware devices that meet the compatibility requirements.
